About This Activity
Wilderness Leadership campers experience immersive nature-based skills training, inspiring challenges, and outrageously fun activities under the guidance of seasoned instructors. Leadership Overnight Camp offers multiple 1-7 week long sessions for youth 13-15 who are looking to develop leadership skills. This program challenges teens to step out of their comfort zone, meet new people, and discover their own ability to lead and inspire themselves and others. Leadership Camp is designed to build confidence, friendships, and outdoor skills - and offer some of the most positive formative experiences in a young person's life. Campers in the Leadership Program learn communication skills, conflict mediation, and help plan and facilitate group activities. Although the emphasis of this program is on leadership skill development, Leadership campers get plenty of time to relax, play games, and splash in the pool, wakesurf for a day on the boat, shoot a bullseye in riflery, learn pottery techniques to make a cup and fire it in an ancient style kiln, dance, try ancient weaponry, harvest and eat wild foods, track animals, be a kid, and so much more! Overnight Camps are a perfect opportunity for youth to safely put their skills to the test. What your kids learn with us are truly helpful life skills that will travel with them far beyond the camp experience. Wilderness campers join our lead staff members on paddling, swimming, or hiking adventure each week. Our feminine and masculine sleeping shelters are located on opposite ends of camp. Traditional Adirondack shelters can be used during the week for sleeping or Leadership Campers can build shelters as well if they choose, sleep in their own hammocks, or stay in Canvas tents while at remote sites around our campus. The weeks for Leadership Overnight Camp begins with drop-off on Sunday, and lasts through to pick-up on the appropriate Saturday.
